I don't think it will be that bad...but there will be burned up cars (including police,) a few injuries (to Sixers fans that were brave enough to show up,) there will be about a dozen arrests, no deaths and the final cost to fix property will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. in the immortal words of Randy Newman, "I love L.A. ... we LOVE it" rH ------------------ visit: The Psychedelic Groove House of Rockets Basketball Love! visit: groovehouse.org
Brian...I saw that site after the riot following last year's finals. I sure hope the guy updates it for this year's victory riot. It is hilarious. ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
Did houston riot when we won two rings? nope just another reason we are better than LA.. and of course we have the nfl team not them now lol ------------------ Shane "Save Our Rockets" "Life without basketball in Houston........without an arena that is what it will be"
nope, we didn't riot... we just tied up traffic, honking and acting like fans who's team had just won a championship!! rH ------------------ visit: The Psychedelic Groove House of Rockets Basketball Love! visit: groovehouse.org

I see rubber bullets, tear gas, gas masks, helmets, shields, and clubs. I predict the Lakers will write a check to the city of LA for damages. No deaths. Minor injuries. Most people in LA are outsiders so they don't give a damn how much they **** up the city. ------------------
How bad do you think the victory riot will be in downtown Los Angeles tonight? How many police cars will be destroyed? How many arrests? Any deaths? What will the final cost to fix the property damage? ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
and that one guy that dies falling off the back of a pickup truck on Richmond. ------------------ "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever."
I predict there will be a terrible terrible riot. The city will suffer big time damages. The mayor will be pissed and finally ask the Lakers to either move from the city or not to win any more championships. The Lakers finally decide to move to El Paso. NBC will be pissed and stop favoring the Lakers. The Lakers without the help of refs will SUCK. Kobe and Shaq will get into a fight. Zen Phony tries to step in the middle and Shaq beats the hell out of him. Phil Jackass is forced to retire. Kobe becomes dillusional and moves to Italy where he is constantly being whooped by white boys. He becomes another Nick Anderson. Shaq is left alone in El Paso, and then he finally decides enough is enough. He retires and goes back to making horrible movies like Steel 3. ------------------ [This message has been edited by R0ckets03 (edited June 17, 2001).]
I wish! except for the part about Steel 3, we can do without that one . . . ------------------ blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
